Today's business leaders need not only to understand core business functions but also demonstrate an ability to ask the right questions of functional specialists and integrate this knowledge in order to solve complex business problems. This unit provides students with an integrative appreciation of the core business functions, with particular focus on the disciplines of strategic management, organisational behaviour, human resource management, international business, marketing, supply chain management, management accounting and corporate finance. The unit also develops and enhances the ability of students to work effectively in teams, a critical skill for the effective management of complex processes in uncertain environments and provides key building blocks for the remainder of the program.
